SOUTH DAKOTA GETS THE CREAM
of the charmanships, and Speaker Crosse
makes no effort to deny that he knew what
he was about when he picked chairmen
from the South. He says he has, i'm max
ing up the committees, endeavored to give
all parts of the territory equal representa-
ton. but the chairmen are strongly enough
backed by South Dakota representation to
enable them 10 rule the committees at VII.
The appointments are not altogether salts
factory and hard feelings have been stirred
up i'll the Southern ranks as we'll a.; in the
North for non recognition, and there is
blood in the eyes Of more than one disap-
pointed legislator. j. +. Fletcher. who
gave away. and together with John Ho-
bart. of Moody, allowed Crosse to capture
the SpeakerShIp, was carefully taken care
of by beng placed at the head Of two of
the most important committees, appropria-
tons and min NJ and minerals.
FLETCHER Is HIGHLY ELATED.
The Craftsmanship of the appropriation
committee is worth more in many ways than
the speakershlp. John Hobart after
Fletcher dropped out of the fight for the
Speakershp, was Crosses most dangerous
opponent and he was promised the chair
mansh p of the committee on railroads if he
would take header. He went out of sight
anu Crosse went in. Now the plum prom
i$ed Hobart was tucked into the pocket of
Dec Stewart, of the Black Hills. and
Hobart is naturally bruising himself in a
war dance. He is completely out of joint
and yesterday spent nearly all the session
putting crafty at cigar in the corridor of
the capitol. Il wanted the Craftsmanship
of that committee" said he; ''they prom
Used it to me and
FOUGHT To HAVE IT.
'D-n EN-, they'll hear from me before
the session is over" The excuse offered bv
the speaker for giving the craftsmanship to
Stewart is that he lived further from the
railroads than any other member of the leg
islature. bat this is a weak panacea for the
wound in HObart's breast, and. backed by
his friends, he is liable to pitch in without
gloves before the legislature adjourns. A
joint committee was appointed to see what
arrangements could be made for the free
transportation of the governor and terrific
rial officers to and from the capitol during
the session. The eXorbitant rates charged
by bus and hackmen for transportation
threaten to break the territorial officers
and legislators, and made this move neces-
sary. An attempt to get the house to hold
two sessions day, morning and evening,
failed this afternoon. Evidently the legs-
lators are not here to work the flesh off
their bones. and one session a day is
enough, while it costs SO much to get to
